Get The Right Domain

Even if you don’t want a website for your business (you should absolutely have one, but that’s a different blog), you should own all of the web domains that include your business name. Not only does buying these up early ensure that you have options, but it helps to ensure that no one can overcharge you for a domain later on. So many businesses have made the mistake of leaving their best domain names on the table and have had to pay thousands, if not tens or hundreds (in rare cases) of thousands of dollars to claim them later on. You don’t want to be one of those businesses, so snag your rightful domain name while you can.

Utilize Social Media

Social media is an incomparably valuable tool for businesses. Not only can it be a stellar review source, but its main utility is in its name — it’s social. Your customers can recommend you to their friends and build a community around their affinity for your business. After all, people lead their lives on social media now. Why shouldn’t your business be a part of that? Plus, complete and oft-updated profiles are great for SEO (search engine optimization).

Work To Be On Page One of Google

We’re sure you know this already, but it bears repeating. Being on the front page of Google is a goal each and every business should strive for. There’s a good reason web marketing companies are so heavily SEO focused right now  — being on the first page of Google is vital to a business’ success. You can do this by taking an active role in your business’ SEO strategy. 

Blog Your Heart Out

Speaking of “taking an active role in your business’ SEO strategy,” blogging is the number one way to do that. Uploading new and relevant content on a regular basis is the best way to make sure that you are giving it your all to get your business to rank on Google. Always use relevant keywords and category tags, as that will help address the specific questions your target audience is asking their search engines.

Lean On The Professionals

Allocating funds to pay for professional reputation management is a phenomenal choice for any business. Although it certainly pays to be educated about reputation management and take an active role yourself, the professionals have the tools and knowledge the typical business owner simply does not. Seek out a reputation management solution that accommodates you, your schedule, your budget, and your experience.
